Chapter 46 Chapter 46
As the sun sets, lights gradually come on in the family compound.
Wen Yanxi and Wen Qing looked around separately and asked several households nearby, but all they got were shakes of the head and answers like "I didn't see it".
Wen Yanxi's face became increasingly gloomy, and the low pressure emanating from his body made Wen Qing dare not even breathe, and he could only follow closely behind.
Where on earth did this capitalist lady go?
Wen Qing muttered in his heart, but didn't dare to say it out loud.
"Uncle, where are you going?" He hurriedly spoke when he saw Wen Yanxi suddenly walking out of the family compound.
Aren’t you going to look for it anymore?
"Go to the army to mobilize people!" Wen Yanxi's voice was as cold as ice.
He kept walking, and the cuffs of his training uniform were wrinkled.
There are mountains and forests all around here. If Chen Zhaoyue accidentally enters the mountains...
Thinking of this, his breathing became heavier.
"Not really? For a capital..." Wen Qing widened his eyes in disbelief.
But he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.
The look Wen Yanxi gave him sent a chill down his spine, and he quickly changed his words: "I'm asking, do you want to ask a few more companies?"
Wen Yanxi continued to walk out of the family compound in silence, while Wen Qing followed behind with a pout, looking reluctant.
Before they left the family compound, they suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from not far away: "Political Commissar Bai, Sister Yue, thank you so much today!"
Wen Yanxi turned his head suddenly and saw Chen Zhaoyue standing at the stairs, smiling and saying goodbye to Bai Jiang and his wife.
She was holding a cloth bag in her hand and seemed to be in a good mood, with no sense of being a "missing person" at all.
Wen Yanxi stood where he was, his tense nerves suddenly relaxing.
Fortunately, no one went into the mountains!
However, Wen Qing, who was beside him, suddenly felt a surge of anger when he saw Chen Zhaoyue.
He walked over quickly and said angrily, "Chen Zhaoyue!"
When Shen Zhaoyue turned around and saw Wen Qing, she subconsciously frowned, with a flash of disgust in her eyes.
How did I meet this frizzy military dog?
"Uncle!" Then, when Chen Zhaoyue saw Wen Yanxi behind Wen Qing, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Behind a handsome face, there is an even more handsome face. So this is what it feels like!
Chen Zhaoyue couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, and two shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks.
She trotted around Wen Qing and rushed straight towards Wen Yanxi, her hair forming a cheerful arc in the evening breeze.
"Uncle, why are you with Wen Qing?" Shen Zhaoyue asked, looking up.
Seeing her bright eyes, Wen Yanxi's serious expression softened a little unconsciously, but the corners of his lips were still pursed.
"Chen Zhaoyue, where have you been?" Wen Qing, who was ignored, glared at Chen Zhaoyue with gritted teeth: "Can't you just behave yourself? You're causing trouble as soon as you get here!"
"What do you care!" Chen Zhaoyue glanced at him with disdain.
"You...! Chen Zhaoyue!" Wen Qing was very angry at her attitude.
Chen Zhaoyue was still making faces at him smugly, and when she saw him coming over, she hid behind Wen Yanxi.
Due to Wen Yanxi's intimidation, Wen Qing didn't dare to step forward. He couldn't win the argument and was so angry that his liver hurt.
Bai Jiang looked at Wen Yanxi's solemn face and finally realized what was going on. He slapped his forehead and said, "Ouch! I forgot to tell you!"
He quickly stepped forward, his face full of apology: "Yanxi, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault for not considering it carefully..."
Yue Xiulan also helped to explain: "I met Sister Shen in the courtyard today. I was so happy that I dragged her home to eat and chat. I forgot to tell you! Sorry, I made you worry!"
Wen Yanxi nodded slightly, and the tense jawline finally relaxed a little: "Thank you for your help."
Although the voice was soft, it was sincere.
He was still happy that Chen Zhaoyue could meet people in the family compound and integrate into the place.
Chen Zhaoyue finally realized something and looked up at Wen Yanxi with her almond-shaped eyes wide open: "Uncle, were you looking for me just now?"
Her voice unconsciously softened, with a hint of uncertainty.
Accustomed to living alone, with only Johnny, the robot, as her companion, she had no idea that people would miss her when she was not at home.
Wen Yanxi lowered his eyes and looked at her, his gaze lingering on her face for a few seconds, and finally he just said "hmm" softly.
"I..." She suddenly felt her throat tighten, and her fingers unconsciously twisted the tie of the cloth bag: "I must remember to tell you next time."
Wen Qing stood aside, watching this tender scene, and couldn't help rolling his eyes.
It’s over, his uncle was really seduced away by a vixen!
Wen Yanxi said "hmm" again, took the cloth bag from her hand, gestured to Bai Jiang and his wife, and then took Chen Zhaoyue and walked home.
Chen Zhaoyue followed, and before leaving, she turned back and waved to Bai Jiang and Yue Xiulan.
Yue Xiulan looked at the backs of the two and couldn't help but sigh: "What a perfect match!"
Bai Jiang nodded in agreement. He looked at Wen Yanxi's attitude towards Shen Zhaoyue and found that it was indeed a little different.
"But... why does Miss Shen call Yan Xi 'Uncle'?" Yue Xiulan asked in confusion: "It sounds weird..."
"This..." Bai Jiang, who knew the inside story, thought about it but didn't say anything.
Since the previous engagement has been annulled, it would be better if the fewer people who know about it, the better.
On the other side is the villa area of the family compound.
Wen Qimin was pacing back and forth at the door of his house with his hands behind his back, looking up at the intersection from time to time, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
It’s been more than half an hour, why haven’t we found the person yet?
"Where could this guy go?" he muttered to himself, tapping the dial of his watch unconsciously. "He can't possibly be going up the mountain, right?"
When this thought came to his mind, his heart skipped a beat.
Chen Zhaoyue had just arrived and was unfamiliar with the family compound. He hadn't returned so late, so it was very likely that he had lost his way in the mountains.
Commander Wen, who had the same idea as Wen Yanxi, looked more and more solemn, and had begun to consider whether to mobilize troops to search the mountain.
"Grandpa!" Wen Qing trotted over and felt very happy when he saw Wen Qimin waiting at the door.
I didn’t expect that my grandfather cared about him so much and was waiting for him at the door!
Wen Qimin, however, simply passed over his grandson and his gaze fell directly on Wen Yanxi and Shen Zhaoyue who were walking side by side behind him.
He walked forward quickly, looked Shen Zhaoyue up and down, and after confirming that she was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Finally found it! If I hadn't found it, I would have almost called in the army to search the mountain!" He looked at Chen Zhaoyue with kind and gentle eyes, without any intention of blaming her.
Chen Zhaoyue felt warm in his heart, and his nose suddenly felt sore.
She lowered her head, her voice a little guilty: "Commander Wen, I'm sorry to have made you worry..."
"I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay!" Wen Qimin waved his hand and asked with concern, "Have you eaten yet?"
Wen Qing stood aside, looking at Chen Zhaoyue who was being adored by everyone, curled his lips and muttered softly: "Biased..."
His grandfather was also bewitched by the vixen. In the entire Wen family, he was the only sober person!
